Join us as a Web Application Scanning Configuration Engineer on our Cybersecurity Engineering & Operations team in Eldorado do Sul/RS - Brazil to do the best work of your career and make a profound impact.

We are seeking skilled Configuration Engineers to support the expansion of Dell’s enterprise Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) program. This role is critical in enabling large-scale coverage across hundreds of internal and external applications by managing scan configurations, integrating with CI/CD pipelines, validating coverage, and ensuring accurate detection of security vulnerabilities. You will collaborate closely with application teams, AppSec consultants, and global stakeholders to support secure development and reduce application security risk.

You will:

• Configure and optimize DAST scans across diverse applications (web, microservices, APIs) for authenticated and unauthenticated testing

• Integrate Tenable WAS (and future tooling) into CI/CD pipelines to enable automated scanning workflows

• Manage onboarding of new applications and working directly with app owners to define scope, credentials, and scan requirements for authenticated scanning.

• Troubleshoot scanning issues, crawl detection gaps, authentication failures, and environment-level blockers

• Validate findings, remove false positives where applicable, and coordinate with SDL AppSec consultants on deeper analysis

• Maintain scanning infrastructure, monitor performance, and support scalability initiatives across regions.

• Enhance and maintain process documentation, onboarding guides, and operational playbooks.

• Contribute to building self-service onboarding and configuration tools to empower development teams

• Support continuous improvement for DAST coverage, accuracy, and process automation
